Namesake & History: |

Mount Kearsarge is the name of a 2,937-foot
(895 m) mountain located in Wilmot, New Hampshire, and Warner, New Hampshire.
Two state parks are located on the mountain: Winslow State Park and Rollins
State Park. On a very clear day, skyscrapers in the city of Boston,
Massachusetts 80 miles (130 km) away are visible from the fire tower on the
summit. |

USS
Kearsarge (LHD 3): |
|||||
USS KEARSARGE (LHD 3) is the fourth ship in
the history of the U.S. Navy named for Kearsarge Mountain in New Hampshire.
Previous ships named KEARSARGE include a Civil War-era sloop of war famous
for defeating CSS ALABAMA; a turn-of-the-century battleship that sailed as
part of President Theodore Roosevelt's "Great White Fleet;" and an
aircraft carrier, known internationally for its part in the Project Mercury
space program. KEARSARGE is only one of two United States ship names mandated
by Congress to be used more than once. |
